Sugar Creek Golf Course
About
Sugar Creek Golf Course offers some of the best scenery of any course in the St. Louis area. Golfers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from the course's elevated tees. The course opened in 1990 with several improvements made in the following years. The layout is a manageable length at just under 6,100 yards. It is player-friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence but there are also challenges in store for more advanced players. Water only comes into play on one hole but there are stands of trees lining the narrow fairways. The golf course will generously reward accuracy and good strategy though it is not overly punishing if you are slightly errant. In addition to the course, Sugar Creek G.C. also boasts an expansive practice range with 35 hitting stations.

Excellent staff and owner!!
So a friend and I left work early to go play this course, its been a few years since I have played there and I seen a huge improvement on all aspects of this course!! From the staff, the grounds crew, and especially the owner! We had the pleasure of meeting him on a hole. He introduced himself us and was a pleasure. They were doing some mowing and maintenance to the greens to try and beat the rain for tomorrow. We played right through with no problems. The greens look a 100 times better than the last time I played as well as the fairways. I honestly was super impressed!!!! So just wanted to say thank to everyone who is doing their part to make this course enjoyable again. Sincerely Jimmy Homeier.
Same course
Idk what all the reviews I’d read about this place being so improved were all about.. It seemed like the same course to me. Fairways were super long, tee boxes were shaggy and really hard, an entire hole was apparently unplayable.. Just not the kind of experience I typically seek out. Looked like there were a couple of projects going on, and maybe it will actually be decent someday, but that is not yet upon us.
Outstanding
This course was an absolute blast to play through. Each hole had beautiful fairways and greens. The cart paths are a bit beat up. Staff were super friendly, talked to the owner for a little after he sunk a great putt, seems he truly cares for the place and is making it better and better ever since he has gotten a hold of the course. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and challenging course.
Great Value!
Sugar Creek is a great place to play for any golfer. The layout is fun and the course is in great shape thanks to the new management.
Good course
Good layout, good price. Conditions were fair other than 15 being closed. Overall nice course fir the money.
Great course
I used to play this course all the time. Probably 10 years back. It was sold to someone that didn't know what they were doing or didn't care. It turned into a goat pasture. The new owners have pride in what they are selling. great fairways and greens, a couple tee boxes need help but most are in good shape. The sand is OK but could be better and the cart paths need help. Overall this course has a great layout on front and back 9's.
Terrible
We started with a 15 minute backup on hole 1. Once we got to hole 3 a 4 some of teenagers snuck in from the surrounding neighborhood and were playing extremely slow- taking 5 or 6 practice swings a person. They were pretty terrible to begin with so we ended up waiting quite a while. I called the club house to inform them people had snuck on the course and were playing and not following rules like having a tee time or all players having clubs. They said they would send a Marshall and he never did anything. By hole 9 I almost was hit in the face by a club flying off the t box and into the cart path. It was one of the kids clubs that snuck on in front of us and it was a foot from my head. My boyfriend was obviously upset and said something to the kids. On top of this fiasco, the cart path itself needs A LOT of work. Hole 15 was under construction so all ur left with is a sign that says go down this neighborhood street and we drove for about a mile wondering if we’re going the right way, finally finding the next hole. So many potholes, the drive was extremely uncomfortable. One hole had no signage that it drops straight down and you surely cannot see this from the t box. All in all extremely disappointed with this course. We won’t be back. I highly suggest you find another course.
Vast Improvement
It's been a while since I played Sugar Creek and I was happy to say that I came back and gave the course another look. You can tell the owners and staff are working hard to turn things around. Some of the major improvements I noticed while playing today:
- Great turnout, even on a day with 90+ degree temps.
- Greens that were phenomenal.
- All turf areas on each hole had sufficient grass.
- Sand traps had decent sand to hit from.
- Tee boxes were wonderful and easy to place tee for drives.
All in all it was great to see so many people at the course and you could tell they have been working at bringing customers back.
The cart path in many areas was in need of repair, but I would not consider this a major drawback to playing this course - there are ways to get around rough spots on the path.
Thanks for all your hard work Sugar Creek!
Solid course for intermediate and advanced players
Course has a challenging layout but is a very good looking course. Owner has put in a lot of work into the course and is currently working on more. Has some really cool holes and a good mix of types of hole. Would definitely recommend coming here to play.
Great course for all players from beginning to advanced players
Great course glad to see constant upkeep with the course and very helpful and friendly staff
Let’s Talk.
If you have not been here in a bit, I get it. It was a dog track! Conditions were, let’s say, not good. But give me a second and hear me out on this. They have not changed the layout, meaning yes there are some holes that are less than ideal in layout, but there are a bunch that require good golf to be played! But you knew that and if you were like me, you always thought “man if this place were taken care of it would be a fun track”. Well that day is here. They have turned a corner and the course with TLC is in great shape. The fairways are solid, the greens are as good….no the greens were never good. These are like new greens all together, and they roll great. . They have put money everywhere it matters, and the effort is continuing. It is not a completed work, but they don’t claim it to be. I have talked with the Sup and Owner and they are passionate about turning this place around and making it into an inviting, playable course that challenges but keeps you interested. I’m glad they had a vision for this place and the willingness to start and continue to follow though on the project. Listen, it’s not Augusta, but I’m not Tiger. Just a dad who wants fun courses that are in good shape to be in the area so my son can beat me while I pay the green fees. Keep up the great work guys.
Great value for a course coming back
First time playing here in 7 years. It has taken a drastic change and is looking great. Great value can be found here
Awesome Value, Great Staff, and Great Conditions
First time playing here and we were super impressed! Greens and fairways were great and you could see the investments in the course were ongoing. Staff was super friendly, food was good and very inexpensive, and we will definitely keep coming here in the future!
Fantastic course close to home!
They have some of the best greens I’ve ever played on. The course is very well taken care of. Great price as well. I got a chance to meet the owner, and he was very friendly and down to earth. I will definitely be going back soon!
Outstanding!
I can't believe the last review I read on here. This course is in great shape and getting better everyday! That person probably had a bad round or day or something. Great staff and course conditions!!!!
Not good condition
Only $25 and I still don’t think it’s worth it. The fairways were barely distinguishable from the rough. It didn’t look like they were mowed recently. The greens definitely weren’t mowed in a little bit, the slowest greens I’ve ever played. And unless you play here often some of the holes are ridiculous in knowing where you’re even supposed to hit it to find the fairway. Was not satisfied.
